I've got a very easy way for you to install cacti. Since a lot of distributions also have cacti in their repositories you should take advantage of that. For your cacti to work properly you need the 'cacti' package itself and its dependencies (for example apache2).

The cacti version in the Ubuntu 10.04 repos is 0.8.7e. The newest version though is 0.8.7g. So you should install the cacti package from source.
Another package which you should install from source is rrd. The best version to work with cacti is 1.2.27.

To get all needed dependencies do the followning:
* Open a terminal window and login as root (sudo so -)
* apt-get update && apt-get install cacti (do NOT selcet 'yes' and start the installation)
* What you see now is the complete list of all packages needed for the cacti installation. Copy the list of packages to a text editor, delte the 'cacti' and the 'rrdtool' entry and make the whole list one line.
* Use the package list now to install all dependencies: apt get install 'copy & paste the line here'

With that, you've got all dependencies needed for cacti to work. Now:
* Download rrd 1.1.27 from http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/pub/?M=D and install it, following the instructions
* Download cacti from http://www.cacti.net/download_cacti.php (the tar.gz archive) and install it, following the instructions
* Create an apache2 virtual host to point the webserver to your cacti folder (see attached code - edit paths for you installation)
* Open a browser on that machine and and got to http://127.0.0.1

I was able to uninstall and then reinstall upon trying once again. I didn't specifically use all of these steps, but, this is a very thorough instruction set with links, so that works for me. Thanks for the input.

I have seen several blogs and forum entries elsewhere state that because NTFS volumes do not support linux ownership or permissions, they cannot be used for anonymous ftp upload through the vsftpd program.

Note: for this to work properly you need to use a Cross-Over network cable.
